This is a good cd. Not bad. Not as great as some of his other cds.

CD Reviews

Great "Comeback" from somebody who never really went away

"The editorial review is a little bit skewed. While it is true that Richard is best at the heartbreaky, syrupy, ballady kind of stuff - he will be the first to admit that (and he actually did so in the CNN Larry King interview this month). But not all songs on this album fall under that category by far. I wish that "Colder" could have been the first single off this CD, as I feel it can very well hold his own amongst today's mainstream pop/rock. Nevertheless, despite it's "heartachy" lyrics "When You're Gone" is far from a syrupy ballad.



Furthermore Richard Marx is an amazing songwriter and producer who in recent years penned songs for NSYNC, Emerson Drive, and collaborated with Kenny Loggins to mention just a very few. Not to forget his Grammy win this year with Luther Vandross for "Dance with my Father". Maybe if the editorial reviewer had looked at the whole picture he would have seen that Richard does not desparately "need" this album to revive his career. It actually never "died".



My absolute favorites "Ready to Fly", which IS the obligatory power ballad and "Falling" the arrangement of which complements and showcases Richard's amazing voice perfectly."
The HITS just keep on coming!!!

"Richard Marx has shown the world again, that he belongs at the top of the songwriting industry. When it was announced months ago a record was in the works, I was anxious for its release. His announcement that the CD might alienate old fans with an edgier dark tone brought some worry. Well just goes to show, when someone knows what they're doing, we should all just trust them. There are no weaknesses or flaws on this album. From the heights of the hymn, "Ready to Fly", to the dark yet poignant tone of, "Fallen", Marx doesn't disappoint old fans and will most certainly gain new admirers. My only afterthought that may be critical was the inclusion of an 'oldie, "Someone Special", from his 2000-2001 release "Days in Avalon", Iwould have chosen almost any other song off that album. Nonetheless, Mr. Marx my hat is off to you, just do me one favor; Don't make me wait too long for the next group of lyrical masterpieces, Thanks!!!"
